AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

VIAVI's AI-network validation and Spirent acquisition could drive a higher-quality, diversified growth mix, but the investment remains contingent on sustained per-share EPS and free-cash-flow conversion to validate a valuation that still assumes strong execution; wait for evidence of durable margins and technical stabilization above $38.40–$38.80 before treating the pullback as a compelling entry.
